A recap seems correct here:
1. I point out that Chomsky's motivation for not engaging in Sudan's problems (no influence) are just not serious; his involvement would have very probably made a big difference and potentially saved many lives.
2. You claim that Chomsky think it is more important to complain about USA. (+)
3. I answer that I don't really care why someone has double standards for different groups/countries/religions/etc.
4. You play linguistic games with half of a term I use ("self-hater").
5. I say bye bye.
(+) Not relevant anyway, except as a form of explanation of why, not an argument Chomsky's position was serious.
Also, Chomsky has always been severely critical of authoritarian and violent regimes across the world; the reason he has focused disproportionally on American regimes is due to the moral principle I referenced above.
